    Three generations and 63 years later, not much has changed at Napa’s Stony Hill

    Roger Morris
    Feature Stories
    5 min read
    It is tempting to think of Stony Hill Vineyard as this lovely flower growing on the flank of Napa Valley’s Spring Mountain, a flower that has miraculously flourished, largely unchanged, since it was planted in 1952. Such unchanging longevity is not a routine occurrence.  While Napa Valley may be a

    The Vintners of this Northern Rhône Appellation Fear the Kind of Development that Could Threaten its Vineyards The last thing you notice is the quiet. The first thing you notice is the hillside of vines diving below you. You’re surprised. This is Chablis, not Côte-Rôtie. The hills are supposed to

    If you were asked to name three or four Italian wines that are the most highly respected all over the world, I bet most of you would include Amarone della Valpolicella. This red wine made with dried grapes has been appreciated by wine lovers forever, but its popularity has shot up

    The unique terroir of the Côtes des Bar expresses itself well in this vintage. The 2015 harvest has drawn to a close in Champagne and overall everybody is very happy with the results. The hot summer boosted the ripeness levels, and in the end brought forward the harvest dates by

    The Quixotic Quest of Carlos Falcó

    Spain is known for volume and it’s known for value. For vaunted wines of international renown? Not as much. Carlos Falcó and his fellow members of Grandes Pagos de España would like to change that. Falcó is one of the founders of GPE, a group promoting estate-grown, terroir-driven wines – pagos

    Names are important. Let's consider two wine regions in Portugal: Ribatejo and Tejo. Ribatejo has a history of more than 250 years of producing boatloads – literally – of cheap wine, much of it sent in enormous containers to Portuguese colonies like Angola. Tejo (pronounced Tay-zhew), on the other hand, is

    What We’re Drinking – 2013 Wente “Louis Mel” Sauvignon Blanc

    Aromas are lovely, with soft sweet citrus and magnolia wafting up from the glass. Tight, clearly defined tropical comes out up front on the palate, white grapefruit, mango and Valencia orange. White florals come through on the mid-palate, but not as powerful as on the nose, more orange blossom than magnolia.

    Drinking wine might be a mainstream activity, but reading about it is definitely niche. I'd wager that perhaps less than 1% wine consumers are likely to pick up a book on the subject, meaning that writing a tome about wine isn't the easy way to a bestseller. Occasionally something comes
